Buying with PCP

Is there really any other kind of PCP?

The other PCP that we both know & love also makes the world look to good to be true! Lol

 

Bry I bought my KTM Superduke on a PCP and great no problems... Got a good Part Ex on my Street triple and ended up paying £76 per month over 3years for a new Superduke.... As you said its was a no brainer....

With that in mind when the 3 years were nearly up I went back to the dealer for the Speed Triple dark....
Final payment for the Duke should have been £3400 but I was finishing it a bit earlier so It was approx £3700...

Got offered £5K for the Duke so I would have had as expected some cash as a deposit...(£1300)
Now the fun bit..... With extras my bike was close to £12K (don't tell the wife.) and it keeps the sums simple.......
I offered some more money as a deposit total £3K so simple sums leaves £9K left on finance....
Ballon payment was from memory close to £6K. So again rounding up etc etc leaves approx £3K on finance...
I was told finance was 15% but total repayment was £6K+.... (work that out) circa £180 per month
Basically I weren't going to pay £3k for finance over 3 years on approx £3K.... So I told them to politely sod off.....

So in conclusion yes PCP is great if you get a good deal... But check finance and total amount payable...
You must remember that after 3 years you still won't own the bike...
Great if you like to change your bike regularly but not so good if you think this could be the one........
PCP is a way for the dealers to get a regular change of new & old machines as you have to part ex your bike ever 2-3 years depending on your term...
Your options are to pay off the ballon payment after the agreed finance term. (on my bike £6k) so quite a chunk after 3 years...
Give bike back and walk away.... Not really an option unless you get laid off or leave the country (as my mate did)
Part ex the bike and get a new one with the little bit left over.....

So Bry if you liked change your bike regularly and deal is good go for it.... If your going to keep your bike for 5 years or more get a loan and buy it as I did...
Got a loan from Tesco & 5.8%... Happy days bike is mine......

 

Was it that nice Rocket with the flashy paint job? :wink:

 

Not received any PM

 

Yeah got it and looking good just replied to you... Get to a dealer and take one out...

 

So, basically, do we all agree that the PCP that i was thinking of is far better than the one Bry & Screwball have discussed above? :biggrin:

 

Depends if you want to actually buy a bike or dream you own one?
